Bills of Lading

Generating a bill of lading

Generate a bill of lading directly from a Complete or Shipped order. Go to the order and choose Generate BOL.

You always enter the carrier. Everything else is either prefilled or calculated for you:

  • Consignee name and address prefill from the order's linked customer, when there is one. You can still type or edit them for a one-off shipment.
  • Pallet count and total weight are calculated automatically from the product's unit weight and units-per-pallet, when those are on file. Otherwise, enter them by hand — any value you type always wins over the calculated one.
  • Company logo — include or leave off your organization's logo on the document.
  • Special instructions — an optional free-text field printed on the document.

Generating a BOL for a Complete order advances its status to Shipped.
